There are many reasons to choose a TPO roof membrane as your home's roof. It doesn't absorb heat which will reduce cooling costs. Another advantage is the ease of installation. You can get it in a single-ply, white membrane. TPO roof membranes can also be used to protect the environment.

Single-ply membrane in white

TPO membranes consist of a special blend polymers which include ethylene rubber, polypropylene and other polymers. A waterproof membrane is formed when the polymers are combined. It is often applied at the seams with mechanical fasteners. It is strong and durable, as well as eco-friendly.

TPO roofing has been a popular choice for commercial and residential applications since its inception. It has a wide variety of color options and energy-saving capabilities. It can be used to meet many design requirements. TPO membranes are available in white, as well as black and grey.

Reflects heat rather that absorbing it

A reflective material is a material that reflects heat rather than absorbs it. Materials with lighter colors, such as snow or ice reflecting heat better than others. Dark materials, on the other hand absorb heat and radiate it back to the atmosphere. This effect is particularly important in the Arctic, where melting sea ice is likely to accelerate climate change.


The amount of heat that an object reflects depends on its color. White objects are the best at reflecting most of what energy is radiated to them. Darker colors absorb light energy more efficiently, converting it into heat energy. Cool-colored objects absorb light the most efficiently, meaning that they have less heat energy to raise the temperature.

Cooling costs are reduced

TPO roof membranes are ideal for warmer climates. It has excellent UV resistance and can be manufactured in many colors. TPO offers high levels of design flexibility. This flexible material is able to be tailored to any aesthetic and can also deliver high levels of energy efficiency.

Another advantage of TPO roof membrane is its light weight. TPO roofing materials are manufactured with wider sheets and require fewer seams, making them less cumbersome to install. This roofing material also requires less expertise to install than other types. TPO roof installations should only be performed by professionals.

Installation is very simple

TPO membranes are made of a composite of polymers, usually polypropylene and ethylene rubber. They are reinforced by a special fabric. They can be installed three ways: mechanically attached, adhered, and ballasted. TPO roofs with mechanical attachments need to be fastened at the seams. These fasteners ensure strong performance even in high-wind conditions. They also come in different thicknesses making it easy for you to choose the best one for your home.

Once you've chosen the TPO roof membrane type that is right for you, it's time to learn how to install it. The first step is to install the insulation. This will prevent water vapor from penetrating the roof and will help increase energy efficiency. Next, you will need to attach the cover board to your roof. Installations recommend using OSB or plywood (5/8") for this step. Sharp edges will also need to be sanded before attaching your membrane.

How To

What is the difference between service agreements and contracts?

A service arrangement is an agreement whereby a provider agrees with a customer to perform services. It creates an obligation between the parties. The term service refers only to a company’s products, advice, and information. It does not include financial or financial services.

A contract is a legal binding document that sets out the terms and condition of a business relationship. If you purchase a product from a retailer you have entered into a contract. This means that you are legally bound to pay the item later. If you accept employment you have entered into an agreement with your employer.

An informal service agreement doesn't require formal documentation. A service agreement written is not often used in practice. Instead, verbal agreements are standard.

However, service agreements have many advantages over contracts:
